VisArts — Floor Plans & Event Spaces

About this data

This page is part of the EventDiagram venue registry — floor-plan data published for event planners, vendors, and the venue itself. This record was compiled from the venue's public materials and has not yet been claimed by the venue. Room geometry is traced from the venue's own drawings to the room's actual perimeter — vestibules, alcoves, and door bays included — and the scale references we checked are listed on each space below. Software assists the tracing; a person reviews every plan against its source before it appears here. Capacity figures are only ever the venue's own published numbers — we never estimate them. Full details in how we measure venues.

Scale verification

• Primary: the 17 round tables in the source all measure 127 px across and carry 8 chairs each - the standard 60 in round - giving 25.40 px/ft.
• Cross-check: at that scale the drawn banquet chair symbol measures about 17 in across (a standard banquet chair is 17-18 in); the 72 in alternative would make the same symbol 20.4 in, which is too wide for the chair drawn. The two furniture checks agree within 2.8%.
• Corroboration: at 25.40 px/ft the room's inner faces measure exactly 70.00 ft across - a round drafted number - and the traced open floor comes to about 2,920 sq ft against the venue's published 2,500 sq ft. The 72 in alternative would give 3,830 sq ft, which is 53% above the published figure.
• Capacity check: the drawn layout seats 138, inside the venue's published 160 with the dance floor in place.

Known limitations

• Scale was derived from furniture, not from a scale bar: the source export prints no dimensions and no scale bar. Treat all dimensions as accurate to a few percent rather than as surveyed values.
• Traced open floor is about 2,920 sq ft against the venue's published 2,500 sq ft. The published figure appears to exclude the permanent dance floor and circulation; the geometry here is what the drawing shows.
• The room has a PERMANENT dance floor, about 25 ft 6 in square, which the venue confirms in its published description. It is drawn as architecture in the source and is carried on a locked layer in the linked diagram rather than as room DNA, because the outline format has no fixed-feature type for a floor surface.
• Two adjoining gallery rooms are drawn to the west (about 19 ft 8 in x 17 ft and 19 ft 8 in x 21 ft 6 in) with a connecting door. They are excluded from the room outline. The source does not draw a west exterior wall, so the western boundary follows the gallery west-wall line.
• Three small square boxes are drawn in the room in architectural grey (about 3 ft 2 in, 1 ft 10 in and 1 ft 11 in). They are recorded as columns because of how they are drawn, but the source does not label them - confirm with the venue.
• Ceiling height is not published. The venue describes floor-to-ceiling windows throughout.
• Only the gallery connecting door could be read reliably; perimeter door openings were not resolvable in the source raster.
